I have 7 hens various ages & breeds and all have been laying large to very very large eggs for the past year. Although one is 9 yrs old - not sure about her. Two weeks ago 6 baby chicks hatched. Now we just started getting pullet sized eggs - 1 tuesday & 1 today. Who's laying them? The babies...
Four chicks hatched yesterday of 12 in coop w/momma & rest of flock (8). I candled them 3 were clear - got rid of them. Should rest of eggs stay w/ momma? Can they still hatch?
